Scripting News for 7/22/2006

A new sub-directory of NY Times podcasts. If you have an aggregator that supports reading lists, you can subscribe to all the Times podcasts by subscribing to the OPML file. That’s useful because many of them update only once a week.

Quick first impression: The Times podcasts are like the mother lode. What an incredible effort, so valuable.

While I’m figuring out the first cut at the top level of the new podcasting directory, I’ve started a section called New branches, to accumulate a small sampling of sections that I think may fit into the directory. I’m qualifying everything because I’m seeing some OPML files that are so large they couldn’t possibly fit in a corner of this directory. Those are directories in their own right, and deserve a spot for sure, but probably in a section reserved for pointing to other directories.

What’s really weird is that the high in Nashville today was only about 80- — and low humidity. After a week of high-90s heat and a big storm yesterday, it was a relief to have such a beautiful dry and sunny Saturday in the south.
